The Divers in Torres Strait.

No white diver ever tried pearl fishing in
Torres strait who could begin TO fill the place
of the amphibious natives. They work fer
hours at time, at depths of 30 to 100 feet
under water They are more venturesome,
too, than the white divers, and think nothing
of sticking their hands into all the holes in
the coral although the marine monsters they
find at these depths are not always pleasant
acquaintance TO stir up.
The white divers were found to be useless
as soon as the shallow waters around the
island were worked out. When the fishers
had to go out to sea for shell, the black fel-
lows proved that they could stay under longer
and go deeper than the whites. The result
was that they drove their white competitors
out # the business. The supply of divers for
the purposes of the first class pearl shell
trade is not abundant even among the natives,
and the rivalry for their services is so great
that they command enormous wages. Many
of them get 800 month and good percent
age of the pearls they find. Black fellows
who can stay below many hours in ninety
feet Of water often earn from &, 600 to SO, 500
year, though i'll any other business they
could not command "a week. After eight
or nine months hard fishing they usually
strike work, whether the bosses like it or not.
and off they post in parties of five or six to
Sydney, where they lead riotous lives for a
month or six weeks until all their money is
spent. Agents of the white employers always
go along to induce them to spend their cash
as fast as possible and get back to work again.

An Artists Dance.

Everybody knows of Edwin A. Abbey, the
clever artist whose drawings for Harpers of
"She Stoops to Conquer" "Sally in Our AL
ley" and this month of kitty of Colerane,"
are SO much admired. His friends say that
it is one of Mr.. Abbey's little eccentricities
that whenever some piece of work just fin
ished particularly pleases him, he gives vent
to his feelings in some utterly unconventional
way. Not long ago lady called on him Just
while he was finishing the best of the Kitty
of Coleraine pictures-"The Devil Pitcher
was Whole in Coeraine." He was Just in the
working mood, SO he begged her to sit down
for few minutes until he had finished.
She sat down, and presently Abbey forgot
all about her He worked and worked, and
finally he completed the picture. He stepped
back, took q good look, then gave long
drawn whistle of satisfaction The next
moment the whistle frightened up into a rat
tling melody, and Abby "did" a first class
jig that would have done honor to a profess
sional. The lady, surprised, but not to be out
done, commenced to pat" but that recalled
the artist to himself. He turned and saw the
lady, flushed slightly, and apologized. But
the apology vast necessary, for it isn't every
one who has the honor of seeing one of
Americas leading artists doing q little 'pas
seul."-Baltimore American.

The Worlds Commercial Cen,.r

Occasionally one meets some New Yorker
who has philosophically studied the future of
this great metropolis. Such man is Simon
Stevens, the attorney, who says at is a Curl
Gus thing in the study of the worlds history
to see how the commercial center has shifted
from time to time in u general course around
the globe. You can go back TO u time when
Antwerp was the center of the worlds CONF
merce. Next Amsterdam held the threads Of
commercial venture Then the center was
shifted to Liverpool. Now it is London, and
next it will be New York A careful study
of the worlds col'merce at the present time
gives sure indications that the power and
prestige of England in her commercial rela-
tions is beginning to be shaken, while the
commercial empire is drifting across the At
lantic to the metropolis Of the new world. -
